Dear @Debbie22

Welcome to the Community. I am sorry to hear of the loss of your partner. Have you got family and friends that can support you?

It might be worth considering some one-to-one counselling if you are interested. You can find out about the free online counselling service Sue Ryder provides here.

Have you thought about booking an appointment with your GP to see how they can support you.

Please know, you do not need to struggle alone. If you would like details of other organisations who may also be able to help, either at this time or further down the line, please do let us know either on here or by emailing online.community@sueryder.org

Take care.

Oh Debbie, you will have that pain, and when you say you feel like you’ve lost a part of you, you definitely HAVE lost a part of you. After 35 years together losing a beloved partner is a dreadful feeing.
As Pat say “one day at a time and baby steps” definitely works for me. Some days when I felt really bad, I would just go to bed and hope to feel better the next day. Luckily for me, I often did feel ever so slightly better.
Take care, be very kind to yourself, you will learn to live with this awful thing called grief.
